Dryer Vents and Fire Safety
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

Swap plastic or foil accordion-style dryer ducts for rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, since flexible plastic and foil trap lint and crush or kink more easily. Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission - Overheated Clothes Dryers Can Cause Fires

What Hutchinson Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Hutchinson come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Kansas leaves contractor and trade licensing, including plumbing and HVAC, to cities and counties, so who may do gas piping and gas appliance connections depends on the local jurisdiction. Source: Kansas Business Center: Business Starter Kit, Construction
In Kansas, you can report a problem to the Kansas Attorney General Public Protection Division (Consumer Protection).
